died two years earlier, so he remarried. Julia Elizabeth Pulver became his wife in 1874. His son Ezra Lathrop Barrett, known professionally as E. Lathrop Barrett, became the railroad's station agent, a job complementary to his father's. Barrett would remain postmaster until retiring in 1892. He came out of retirement in 1895 and served until his death the following year. The next year Rhoda Louise Barrett bought out her siblings' share of the estate. They sold a small parcel of land across the street to Arthur Peck, a businessman who owned a tavern in nearby Millerton, by then established as the commercial and civil center of the Town of North East. The deed allowed him to build a house on the property but prohibited him from building another tavern in Coleman Station's small commercial area around the rail depot. 1915–present: Renovations and conversions Rhoda married the following year. Her new husband, Howard Schutt, became postmaster in 1908. He held this job for another ten years. Near the end of that period, in 1915, they embarked on a substantial renovation of the family homestead. Many of their changes were in the last phases of the Victorian styles, particularly the Queen Anne style. The wraparound porch was added to the exterior, and much of the current interior was remodeled in this style at that time. Starting in the 1920s, the Schutts began to break up the farm. Eventually all but was sold to Sheffield Farms, a large corporate farm that had acquired all or most of some of the surrounding family farms. It would, by the middle of the century, become one of New York City's largest suppliers of milk. After Rhoda's death in 1941, the farm and house were sold to a Meyer Sutter. He in turn sold to William Greenberg in 1947, who sold it to Stanley Duncan, husband of a descendant of another nearby 19th century farmer. At some point afterwards, the house was converted into a three-unit rental property and more land sold until the land reached its present size and was no longer used as a farm. The Post Office closed the Coleman Station post office in 1954, and the only remaining barn and silo from the original farm burned down sometime before 1970. The remains of both are the property's other two contributing resources. In 1986 the Duncan family sold the house again. The new owners
